Description:How do we recognize a poem, and how do we read it? Students often need assistance in "hearing" and "seeing" the language of poetry, and The Written Poem is the first book that uses semiotic theory to help them do so. Rosemary Huisman discusses the meanings of a poem's visual arrangement, and the role of the "seen poem" in contemporary poetry in English. Using specific examples from poems, this groundbreaking volume explores such topics as the origin of the line in poetry, the potential for seen -- rather than spoken -- meaning in poetry, and the changes in conventions from Old to Middle English poetry. She considers various poetic discourses that have developed from the rise of the literate subject in the Middle Ages to the postmodern subject in today's new media poems. Anyone who seeks to further understand the language of poetry will appreciate this study on social and personal poetic meaning.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
